Is there something about Gainesville that makes it more attractive? Just asking,

I've been to the Sarasota store 4x since they opened. Very nice, crowded but doable. Store about the same size as the one in Maine, good variety.

Next exit North is Gainesville Mall. I spent part of the day there and stopped at Trader Joe's on the way back.

Wife and I just got back from Trader Joes. Long ride, fun store, good pricing, can't beat two buck Chuck ( now three buck Chuck) BUT I don't think it is worth driving for an hour to get there. Time will tell.
